Me too, great stuff. Is Bill Landels still alive?? -
How did the Final end up, was it Mauger, Kitchen, Gilbertson?
-
You are right fromafar. I think the actual Final Race was Mauger, Kitchen, Hunter, Gilbertson with Mauger winning. Great days.

You are youthful...

I think Jimmy Squibb threatened that he and some others said they would walk out of the meeting if the run off did not take place.

Yes I most certainly do, he was good but not as good as the ones who came after. Was the second one over Scott Autrey?-he was a great rider, third in the one off World Championship. I thought once that he might go on to be World Champ.

Wot about Cleveland Park, home of the Bears and Long Eaton Stadium-let alone Somerton Park home of the Wasps. Don't get me started on the long lost Hackney Stadium. Is Pennycross in Plymouth still a possibility for speedway -
